The e-Classroom on Wheels 2 (eCoW2) uses a reconstituted bus to directly deliver services to 13 government schools in the Ediakazhinadu Panchayat. None of these schools have a computer subject, something that is becoming increasing important in enhancing student opportunities in modern India. The bus seat 33 students and is equipped with state of the art materials, including dropdown desks, new laptops with Windows 10, and a LCD TV screen to project lecture. This ensures children are given the best start to their IT education. Additionally the project, started in conjunction with EWB, uses solar panels to power all the bus amenities.
